Principle of Moxibustion Therapy

Moxibustion therapy is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy. It can produce heat and smoke by burning moxa on the human meridians to warm the meridians, adjust the movement of qi and blood, and achieve the purpose of treating and preventing diseases. Moxibustion therapy can be divided into direct moxibustion and indirect moxibustion.

Direct moxibustion refers to burning the wormwood directly on specific acupoints to adjust the body function by stimulating acupoints with moxa smoke and heat. Indirect moxibustion refers to the smoke and hot and warm acupoints emitted from the moxibustion box or cone which is lit first, and then through the cone. Different acupoints and moxibustion methods can be used to treat different diseases.

Moxibustion therapy is believed in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine to adjust the balance of yin and yang in the human body, promote the smooth flow of qi and blood, and enhance the immunity and self-healing ability of the human body. Therefore, some people believe that moxibustion therapy can help elderly women to have a successful birth.
